Cloudflare is quietly rewriting the script for the internet’s next chapter by transforming its global network into a playground for AI agents and developers. No longer just a name behind content delivery, Cloudflare is shaping a new realm where anyone with an idea and a few lines of code can bring intelligent systems to life.
The company is making AI development feel less like a mountain to climb and more like a bridge to cross. Its platform now offers ready-made tools for creating autonomous agents—equipped to reason, remember, and act—without requiring a background in machine learning or deep pockets.
Rita Kozlov, VP of Product at Cloudflare, revealed, “Cloudflare’s network happens to be the perfect place for inference to take place,” pointing to how its reach enables both powerful model execution and lightning-fast responsiveness. She added, “We believe that generative AI is going to evolve into the use of agents… making decisions, and adapting to changing environments.”
At the heart of this vision is Cloudflare’s developer stack—Workers AI for running models, Durable Objects for managing state, and the MCP protocol for orchestration and action. “All the pieces that developers would have to implement themselves… are taken care of out of the box,” said Kozlov. This seamless integration is enabling some to spin up full MCP servers in under 24 hours.
With Agents.cloudflare.com offering starter kits, templates, and SDKs, Cloudflare is opening doors wide for creators. Even its core tools like the CDN and WAF now feature intelligent agents like Cloudy, who can write rules using natural language.
The company’s pricing model invites experimentation. “We only charge for CPU time, so you’re not being charged for the duration of time spent waiting on I/O,” Kozlov explained. This means developers can build without fear of cost overruns. With GPU-powered inference across more than 190 cities, performance meets affordability.
Still, AI agents need trust. And on the open web, that’s complicated. “The biggest challenge… is authenticating and authorising agents to take actions on behalf of humans,” she noted. Through secure protocols and easy integrations with platforms like Auth0, Stytch, and WorkOS, Cloudflare aims to build confidence into every call an agent makes.
Listening deeply to the developer community, Cloudflare is not just building tech. It’s building trust, time, and a simpler tomorrow for every coder on Earth.
